“Earning my nursing degree has been a longtime dream of mine. I tried another strictly online BSN program, but felt that I needed a more hands-on experience. Elms College affords me the opportunity to attend class one night a week and participate online for assignments and reflections. The program has been challenging but very rewarding and positive.”
